P 109 Celebrating Celibacy: Sexuality, Intimacy and Wholeness for the Single Adult

£2.77

Celibacy is commonly understood to be a special, lifelong commitment, often for those in Religious communities. But in reality it is the chosen path of any who find themselves single, and from Christian conviction decide to abstain from sex.

The Rev'd Stephanie Couvela has been in full-time parish ministry since 1998, first in inner city London and latterly in Surrey. Prior to ordination she worked in radio and television.
